Using Your Crane Pump
Remove the dust cover
– Always remove the dust cover before you start to pump.
Position the breast shield
- Massage around your breast, then position your nipple in
the center of the silicone 3D cushion.
Pumping Mode
- Switch on your pump, starting with the stimulation mode icon to
encourage letdown. Once your milk begins to flow (usually after a couple of
minutes), switch to an expression mode icon
Finding the right settings for you:
• When using your pump for the first few times, experiment with the
different
expression setting (-/+) to find the one that works well for you.
• If your milk flow begins to drop, you may find it helpful to
gently massaging your
breast.
• Adjust the suction level gradually to one that is effective but still comfortable.
Don’t choose a level that’s too high and uncomfortable.
• You may find it helpful to switch between the Expression
icon and stimulation icon
Phases while you are pumping.
How long to pump
- Use your pump to express your milk until the breast is empty,
which is usually between 15-30 minutes.
Finishing your pumping session
- When you are ready to stop expressing,
switch your Crane pump off. Ensure the pump motor is OFF before removing
the milk collection kit from your breasts.
Time to clean
- Please see the instructions for rinsing and washing or sterilizing
your pump parts that have come in contact with your breast or breast milk.
Wipe your pump unit.
Double Pumping
As you learn to use your Crane Pump, you may find it easier to pump one side at a
time to begin with. Once you are confident with positioning the breast shield and
have an understanding of the controls, you can be more confident using both sides at
once. Pumping both sides at once can help increase your milk supply as well as
reduce the time needed to pump.
A cushion under one breast can help you still have one hand free to have a drink or
hold something to read. Hands free expressing bras can free up your hands if you
want to move about while you are pumping from both breasts.
